Wedding Party

Ben Crowder
Ben Crowder - Best Man
Ben is Jon's brother. Growing up together, the two constantly found themselves getting into trouble in the neighborhood, playing reckless games in the backyard and fighting with each other in the basement over who won a game. Ben and Jon have remained close through their love for the Atlanta Braves (and baseball in general), New Orleans Saints and beer drinking.
Rebecca Stock
Rebecca Stock - Maid of Honor
Becky is Liz’s older sister, her veterinarian and current roommate! The two grew up sharing a bedroom and constantly getting on each others nerves as only sisters can. Throughout the years they have enjoyed horseback riding, country concerts and hiking with their german shepherds. Becky and Liz were even crazy enough to buy a house together a few years back! They have spent the past few years doing house renovations (many thanks to Mr. Stock) and exploring the area. Becky got engaged this February so the two will be parting ways this summer.
Nathan Stock
Nathan Stock - Groomsman
Nate is Liz's big brother. The running joke in the Stock family was that Nate never made an effort to talk to any of Liz's boyfriends that she brought around the family....That was until Jon came around and stole the hearts of the entire family instantly (well that's not exactly what happened). Nate and Jon both share a love for the outdoors and hunting. Jon is looking forward to gaining a new brother, sister (Amy) and a nephew (Luke)!
Amy Stock
Amy Stock - Bridesmaid
Amy joined the Stock family in 2012 when she married Liz's brother Nate (we knew she would be family much before then!). She is a loving mother to nephew, Luke and fitness enthusiast. Amy has an infectious laugh and is always up for a good time. Amy and Liz have been known to get a little wild at family functions and plan to continue the tradition!
Alyssa Crowder
Alyssa Crowder - Bridesmaid
Alyssa is soon to be Liz's sister in law (more like her 3rd sister no in law needed). Since meeting the Crowder family Alyssa has been nothing but welcoming. Alyssa is an avid runner and workout guru, always up for a challenge. Liz and Alyssa share a love for Joanna Gaines/ Magnolia Farms, adventures, food and dogs! Over the past few years they have attended football games, sampled countless breweries and become family already.
Jaime Patrick
Jaime Patrick - Groomsman
Jamie is Jon's cousin. Jamie is known for his triathlon successes, world record swims, and doing other crazy physical fitness challenges none of us would even dare to attempt. Most importantly, Jamie is known for being the wild cousin and life of the party. Jon and Jamie share a love for hunting, spending time with friends and family and love for the family's prestigious hidden gem; the Tip Top Lodge in Chester, MS.
Scott Rickard
Scott Rickard - Groomsman
Jon and Scott have been friends even before they knew they were friends. Their parents forced them to attend the Country Pre-School together and eat chicken nuggets multiple days a week at the local McDonald's establishment. The two have been friends ever since; still pretending they are 18 years old and playing competitive sports multiple days a week (soccer and softball). Scott is always up for a beer, a fishing trip, some sport watching or an unorganized/last minute vacation planned by Steve or myself.
Sarah Orzechowicz
Sarah Orzechowicz - Bridesmaid
Since the first day of orientation at the University of Scranton the two were destined to be best friends. Over the next 4 years they continued to stay roommates and graduate from nursing school together. Sarah was always the responsible friend of the two, always looking out for Liz and keeping her out of trouble...for the most part. These days the two enjoy hanging out with their Scranton gang, taking day trips and getting a chance to spend time together.
Katelyn Mertz
Katelyn Mertz - Bridesmaid
Katelyn also known as" Mertz" for her last name is a world traveler and adventurer extraordinaire. Mertz and Liz met freshman year living down the hall from each other, they quickly found themselves becoming best friends. Throughout the years of nursing school they had many unsuccessful study dates in the library and trips to the local ski mountain. Mertz being the adventurous one of the group, went into travel nursing after graduation which lead to the once in a lifetime experience of being together in New Orleans for Mardi Gras and the rest is history.
Steve Lotter
Steve Lotter - Groomsman
Jon and Steve have been friends since Steve moved into the neighborhood in 3rd grade. Growing up with Steve in the neighborhood there was never a dull moment. To give you a visual, the two got in trouble throwing snowballs at cars, making flamethrowers in the backyard and attempting to build a raft out of logs and set sail in the neighborhood pond. Steve is always up for a good time and we look forward to visiting him frequently at his new home in West Palm Beach, FL.
Kelly Happe
Kelly Happe - Bridesmaid
Kelly and Liz first met in high school waitressing together at the local BBQ joint in Blairstown. Bonding over pulled pork and biscuits the two quickly became more than co workers. Kelly and Liz spent their summers after high school kayaking the Delaware river, attending country concerts, off roading and soaking up the sun at Blue Mountain Lake. The two continue to enjoy the outdoors together and meeting for a quick bite at their favorite spot, the gourmet gallery.
Matthew Craig
Matthew Craig - Groomsman
Jon and Matt have been friends since elementary school. The two played soccer together growing up and remained close friends during college and post-college. Matt and Caitlyn (his wife) were Jon's partners in crime while he would visit Liz and were willing participants in the Scranton weekend shenanigans. Matt frequently kept Jon in check (or tried to until he would give up). Jon had the honor of serving as Matt's best man during his wedding and is the godfather to his youngest daughter Nora.
Alex Schweitzer
Alex Schweitzer - Groomsman
Jon and Alex (aka Schweitz) became friends during their days playing soccer at Eastern University. The two lived together during college and upon graduation. The stories are countless, many inappropriate for this forum. Alex and Jon share a love for hunting, fishing, trying to get the most "laughs" at group events and having a good time. Alex is also an eligible bachelor, so make sure you introduce yourself to him at the wedding!

Currently the two continue to plan country tailgates, horseback adventures and kayaking trips down the river.
